Talk:Monroe and Isabel Smith

Vital statistics etc

Found his MI, googled "Monroe W Smith" hostel, and fact from other sources that they were from Philadelphia leads me to believe that the Monroe W. Smith at SSDI with SSN issued in Pennsylvania, (27 Aug 1910 - 18 Feb 1990) is the probably the right one. Haven't found obit, Isabel or Isobel may still be alive. Probably will move to Monroe Smith as I believe there is more info on him.John Z (talk) 23:47, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Monroe and Isabel, along with their two children referenced here, are all deceased. Their birth and death dates are now posted, I'll look up Steve and Elizabeth's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreselly (talk • contribs) 06:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Glad I didn't put the wrong dates in then. The two children's dates don't really belong here.  Eventually things in the article should be sourced. See WP:RS  for what counts as a reliable source (preferable), at least to some published source in print or on the web.John Z (talk) 09:17, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I looked at other pages and most of them have the name of the children. They had three but one is still alive. The other two have passed but, and I'm trying to go by the living persons wiki policy, I thought I need to include when they died to mention them? --Dreselly (talk) 05:18, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Dreselly

Monroe and Isabel were significant for starting American Youth Hostels which is an organization that is still large and viable today. This year is the 75th anniversary of their starting the AYH. While they were working on the organization they met in the White House with President Roosevelt on two separate occasions. They also met with Nahru and many significant people of the time who helped them build the organization into what it is today. There's a youth hostel named after them in Northfield MA. There's also a plaque there showing where the first hostel stood which was the Northfield Chateau, another wikipedia entry. From the American Hosteling website: "Hostelling International USA (registered as American Youth Hostels, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 1934 to promote international understanding of the world and its people through hostelling. HI-USA operates a network of over 60 quality hostel accommodations throughout the United States that are inexpensive, safe and clean. Our hostels range from urban high-rise buildings with hundreds of beds to small more remote hostels in rural settings." -http://www.hiusa.org/about_us Monroe also started one Youth Argosy. He had a comic book written about him, and started the publication of "Backpack" a journal through the youth hostels. He hired Carnagie on the original board of the Youth Hostels, but they butted heads and Monroe eventually left. --Dreselly (talk) 05:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

This page was already contested, The facts are written above, they were significant for those named reasons. I'm not sure what new reason is given for deleting in now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreselly (talk • contribs) 02:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It's in another kind of deletion process now. (not speedy deletion, for which hangon is appropriate). Comment at Articles for deletion/Monroe and Isabel Smith.John Z (talk) 02:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Monroe sufrio mucho la muerte de su primera esposa. Después del fallecimiento de Hilda Smith, Monroe 5 años después se caso con isabel y tuvieron 2 hijos. 37.134.11.101 (talk) 22:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
